Tesla officially launched its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system in China. The rollout follows years of regulatory hurdles and a recent Beijing visit by CEO Elon Musk.
An announcement on X listed China among 10 supported nations, including the U.S., Canada, and Lithuania. The software's entry targets the world's largest automotive market.
The launch creates new revenue streams through software sales and subscriptions. This move counters intensifying competition from local rivals like XPeng and Xiaomi.
Tesla established a Shanghai-based AI data center to comply with local data regulations. This facility ensures all regional road data remains localized within the country.
